JERRY Jones has returned to the airwaves to call out the Dallas Cowboys for their poor play.
After a brazen radio interview last week, Jones returned to the same station to deliver another interview.

Jones and the radio hosts seemed to have moved on from from the previous altercation, in which the Cowboys owner threatened to have them fired.
He even had jokes on Tuesday about the interview, asking how host RJ Choppy was doing.
“That stings, Jerry, RJ’s the only one not here today,” host Shan Shariff said.
“Did he want to avoid the confrontation?” Jones replied with a laugh.
Last week’s radio interview was as tense and uncomfortable a situation anyone could listen to, but every put it aside on Tuesday.
Jones even said he was “surprised” with how much attention the altercation got, saying he felt like his weekly interviews on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas are “like pillow talk.”
Shariff, who has done the radio interviews with Jones for 15 years, even admitted that Jones “provided us radio gold.”
“Here’s the thing, the fact that we’ve been doing it for 15 years shows that someplace in between there, we got comfortable in our skin doing these type of things,” Jones said.
“I’m tickled to death that we have enough interest in this as we do.”
The whole argument stemmed from Jones being unhappy with questions about the Cowboys’ roster construction after a 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions.
“This is not your job. Your job isn’t to let me go over all the reasons that I did something and I’m sorry that I did it. That’s not your job. I’ll get somebody else to ask these questions. I’m not kidding,” Jones said.
“You’re not going to figure out what the team is doing right or wrong.
“If you are, or any five or 10 like you, you need to come to this [NFL] meeting I’m going to today with 32 teams here, you’re geniuses.
“You really think you’re gonna sit here with a microphone and tell me all of the things that I’ve done wrong without going over the rights?
“Listen, we both know we’re talking to a lot of great fans, a lot of great listeners. And I am very sorry for what happened out there Sunday. I’m sick about what happened Sunday.”

Jones continued to address the questions about his roster construction by sharing why he didn’t sign running back Derrick Henry.
“In my mind, we’re not playing very good football right now, and it’s beyond whether we have Derrick Henry or not. He’s having a career year. I don’t know if he’d be having a career year in our situation,” Jones said.
“He’s a real good complement to the type of offense they run. We don’t run that type of offense at all.”
Jones didn’t directly address his coaching situation, but he made implications about it, and Athletic reporter Dianna Russini later reported on it.
According to her, Jones “has no plans to fire head coach Mike McCarthy or any coordinators.”
